How do I show the definition of a word by clicking on the word?

[Richie]

I am creating a PPT tutorial and need to know how to create a highlighted
word that can be clicked on and then display the definition?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Richie

If you are using 2002/XP and 2003, you probably want to use trigger
animation to do so.
Add a textbox, type in the additional words.
Then, click slide show > Custom animation.
Click add effect > entrance > appear/fade.
Next, right click on the effect and click timing.
Click triggers, select Start effect on click of.
Select the textbox that you are going to click.

I'd use triggers too but an alternative is screentips as you see on the seb.
